Need a Dinning Table Fast in Time for Holidays?

Here are my top 2 recreated table and chair picks in the VAUD area and it's a mix of Anibis, FLY, Ikea, plus a little DIY.

The inspiration picture #1:

 (Does anyone know the source for this picture?)

My table and chair picks:

Table is 2nd hand from Anibis.ch for only 420CHF

With 4 to 6 of these chairs from FLY.ch for only 179CHF each.

Inspiration Picture #2:

My table and chair picks:

 This 2nd hand table from Anibis.ch (don't look at chairs) for only 400 CHF

With these 6 second hand chairs from anibis.ch set for 400 CHF or less,

as this is with the dinning table.  So they might sell just chairs for less.  Either way anibis

has these chairs posted all over the place.

I would recover chairs with this IKEA fabric for only 8.95 a meter.

Easy DIY reupholstery job, just need staple gun and a good eye...

Happy Holidays,

Thanksgiving Holiday

I am taking off for the American Thanksgiving holiday.  Will post again next week. Have busy day ahead of cooking pies and turkey all day while two toddlers run around playing i.e. screaming and making a huge mess.  I love my boys.  Then Friday I have a busy day of cleaning up from the mess on Thursday. Endless cycle.

Totally unrelated picture, but just had to share a picture of my little Twin's fan tiger.

Happy Thursday, gobble, gobble.

Switzerland - Mailing Letters to Santa

That's right it's getting close to Christmas time.  Just found this on Lausanne Mom, how to mail letters to Santa.

(Christmas 2009)

Apparently you just address an envelope to “Santa Claus, North Pole" or "Père Noël, Pôle Nord” and drop it off in the Swiss Post.  It seems many kids even get a little present back.  We are mailing our letters to the Swiss Santa tomorrow, so will keep you posted on what the kids get back in the mail.  Fun idea.
